Word Parts
Maximize Onsets
Swedish syllabification prioritizes creating syllables with consonant clusters at the beginning (onsets) whenever possible.
Avoid Stranded Consonants
Consonants are generally not left at the end of a syllable unless necessary due to word structure.
- The presence of the genitive suffix '-ets' influences the final syllable division.
- Consonant clusters like 'ks' and 'rt' are common in Swedish and are handled according to the onset maximization rule.
